Gilgal Sculpture Garden

In Salt Lake City near Trolley Square, there's a unique sculpture garden hiding between buildings. I found out about it a few months ago and thought we'd try it, but I didn't know much about it.


How do we feel about Joseph Smith as a Sphynx? We weren't expecting it. The man who owned this property, which was all his backyard at one point, was an active LDS member and this was done as a tribute to Joseph Smith. It still seems a little odd.






It was an interesting place and some sculptures were creepy.
